There is a fairly popular creationist claim that biblical dragons are really dinosaurs. I have written various pieces, none of which seem to my liking. But, I did cut one down and posted it at, Dragons and gods and dinos, Oh My!

Blog software fails for discussions, so I thought we could persue the topic here, if anyone is interested.

There is also some 'meat on the bone' in Adrienne Mayor's very interesting book, "The First Fossil Hunters: Paleontology in Greek and Roman Times" (2000 Princeton University Press). She stayed away from the biblical implications, bu they are quite clear.

Debating creationists on the topic of evolution is rather like trying to play chess with a pigeon — it knocks the pieces over, craps on the board, and flies back to its flock to claim victory.http://alphahelices.blogspot.com/

DPRjones, a lawyer, there are a whole group of creationist bashers/reason promoters on youtube.

Yes, I've heard a few interesting tales about the Crouchs; pretty common stuff amongst the televangelists of the 80s and early 90s. Didn't they get divorced?

The televangelists haven't really prospered in the UK - the UK economy is only about a seventh the size of the USA and the broadcasting regulators have long been tough on them. Especially when it comes to their attempts to relieve the public of the not inconsiderable burden of money.
